Journals
Our journals are central to the dissemination of policy scholarship. They are international in scope, and provide scholars, students, professionals, and all those interested in policy studies, a wide-ranging set of resources. At the PSO, we have been expanding our journal offerings into new areas to provide further means to engage in the emerging policy conversations, including geographical areas, environmental concerns and even into space. Some of our titles are published via Wiley-Blackwell and SAGE, while others are fully open access. Our holdings include many popular journals, such as Policy Studies Journal, World Affairs, Review of Policy Research, and Indian Politics and Policy.
Conferences
The PSO organizes and sponsors various events throughout the year, in connection with some of our publications and their hosting institutions. The purpose of these events is to provide non-partisan platforms, to encourage dialogue and exchange of views across the political spectrum. This furthers our goal of promoting multidisciplinary discussion of relevant policy issues. PSO members, academics, students, social and business leaders, policy makers, and all other interested parties are invited to participate.
VIDEOS
The PSO video collection is a powerful resource. It is especially popular with teachers who find panels and individual papers that punctuate classes as well as with students who benefit from being able to review topics. Thesis writers tell us that they get ideas from the many topics covered. Conferences are often testimony to the evolution of a subject and frequently a leading scholar will revisit research and update progress. PSO journals and books complement the conferences, offering in depth coverage of a variety of disciplines. A much appreciated virtue is that the conferences are right at the cusp of the newest research developments.
